Be a worthy contributor to Animation, the world's newest artform! We'll review some short, world-famous animations, then approach the artform the old-fashioned way, creating hand-drawn artwork on lightboxes, scanning it into the computer for looping, sound-sync and final edit. We'll use dynamic, energetic typography to illustrate one or two essential maxims (in ten words or less, yet to be chosen!), then add color and organic line to give them an unforgettable visual boost! Our finished piece, 2 to 3 minutes long, will screen at the Made-at-MIT Spectacular in May. Limit: 12. Presented by Pell Osborn, award-winning animator, designer, and teacher.

For the first time in MIT history, we will be offering students an opportunity to develop their own screenplay. This hands on introductory workshop will offer discussions and interaction with other student screenwriters to develop and nurture ideas. Learn the step-by-step process of screenwriting. Through a series of exercises, the students in the workshop will explore the fundamentals of dramatic and documentary screenwriting. Additionally, the workshop will provide an overview of the film business (both commercial and independent) and, if possible, will provide the class with an opportunity to meet a working film maker.
